Wow what a super duper bus indeed! To head from Merrivale to Two Bridges with views over all the walls - fantastic.
Along and up the track by the Cowsic and by the farm - not too muddy. Up and out to Beardown Tors to find a bit of shelter from the cool northerly for a cuppa. Over by Lydford Tor to get on the Lych Way and through the gate to the homestead. Slightly deviously to get back to the Lych Way and the very slight stone row. The lure of lunch encouraged us on up and over to Sandy Ford and the amazing Prison Leat bridge. A super spot for lunch on such a wonderful day for walking. The leat helped us down the developing Walkham and neatly across and round to Clay Tor (well one of them). Steadily contouring and drifting down to the huge pound and settlement looking over Greena Ball to Great Mis. Excellent going over the lush grass to Little Roos and on to round the wall down by the quarry and back. The farm shop was open so ice cream, coffee and cake beckoned - some did squeeze in a beer.
This new trans moor bus really is wonderful and opens up lots of possibilities for one way walks - perhaps not all quite as far as today's.
